Thanks to all of you who participated! I went on random.org & I have an announcement! I started counting from Megan (skipping my first post in the comment box with directions because I am not a viable winner to get a total of 51 votes generated into Random.Org. See below to find the winner! Email me within a week at kelly@kellygarveyphotography.com for info on how to claim your headbands. Thanks everyone! BUT MOSTLY, THANK YOU TO SEW WHIMSEY! You are SOOOOO appreciated!
In both pictures I was in the same grossly lit bathroom that is about as bright as a cave with my Nikon set at:
ISO 6400 (eeks!)
f/ 2.8
SS 1/125
ZERO editing done to both & look at the difference! The cast in the first one makes me cringe! The second one isn’t an awesome pic or anything but you can see how the light is so different! When the light is tricky or nasty like it is in Garrett’s bathroom, a gray card is the way to go!
Photogs: Do you mainly use gray cards inside or outside, too?
The very generous, ever so talented, awesome Patricia from Sew Whimsey is donating not one, but two headbands to two lucky winners. If you don’t know about her adorable, hand sewn headbands, it is time you go check them out at her Etsy page! I am a little obsessed with them. They make awesome props for photographers to use or fun accessories for moms to get excited about using on their baby girls.

I am so glad I got to photograph this gorgeous couple! We go way back (Jenny & I especially). They were always such a cute couple through out high school & we all just knew they were going to get married even though they went their separate ways for a little while. I am so glad they re-united, they are just meant for each other! I had trouble picking which ones to post, I kind of wanted to put them all up here 🙂
Jenny + Matt – thanks for having me take your pictures. It wsa so good to see you! I have always thought you were so gorgeous, Jenny! And nothing has changed!
Wow..Kelly I love looking at your work…you do some amazing work!!! AND it helps when you have such a gorgeous couple!!
